Picture of the Day, 2017.12.19

I’ve never been a more monochromatic environment; I couldn’t have pulled a drop of color out of this scene if I’d tried. This photograph, made May 2, 2016, was shot in color and is reproduced here in color with minimal processing. These are oyster beds in Chincoteague Bay off the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Nikon D5200, Nikkor 18-200mm lens, RAW, aperture mode, EV 0, VR on, ISO 800, 1/3000th sec., f/9.5, 24mm (36mm DX).
